Argo Carthage compatible

Argo is a library that lets you extract models from JSON or similar structures in a way that's concise, type-safe, and easy to extend. Using Argo, you won't need to write validation code to ensure that incoming data is of the right type, or to make sure required data fields aren't turning up empty. Argo uses Swift's expressive type system to do that for you, and reports back explicit failure states in case it doesn't find what you've told it to expect.

Argo is the Greek word for swift and the name of the ship used by Jason, son of Aeson, of the Argonauts. Aeson is the JSON parsing library in Haskell that inspired Argo, much like Aeson inspired his son Jason.

NOTE: For Swift 1.2 support, use the versions tagged 1.x.x. For Swift 1.1 support, use the versions tagged 0.3.x. You can find those in the releases.

Installation

Carthage

Add the following to your Cartfile:

github "thoughtbot/Argo"

Then run carthage update.

Follow the current instructions in Carthage's README for up to date installation instructions.

CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'Argo'

You will also need to make sure you're opting into using frameworks:

use_frameworks!

Then run pod install with CocoaPods 0.36 or newer.

Git Submodules

I guess you could do it this way if that's your thing.

Add this repo as a submodule, and add the project file to your workspace. You can then link against Argo.framework for your application target.

Usage tl;dr:

Please note: the example below requires an additional, external module named Curry which lets us use the curry function to curry User.init.

import Argo
import Curry

struct User {
  let id: Int
  let name: String
  let email: String?
  let role: Role
  let companyName: String
  let friends: [User]
}

extension User: Decodable {
  static func decode(j: JSON) -> Decoded<User> {
    return curry(User.init)
      <^> j <| "id"
      <*> j <| "name"
      <*> j <|? "email" // Use ? for parsing optional values
      <*> j <| "role" // Custom types that also conform to Decodable just work
      <*> j <| ["company", "name"] // Parse nested objects
      <*> j <|| "friends" // parse arrays of objects
  }
}

// Wherever you receive JSON data:

let json: AnyObject? = try? NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: [])

if let j: AnyObject = json {
  let user: User? = decode(j)
}
